Remember when all is said and done, we have a loving Heavenly Father who just as he promised to protect every hair on the heads of the people on the ship with Paul, he will do the same for us. The Cross stands as reminder of that love, and the sufferings of Jesus for us. Even Paul's sufferings cannot ever be compared with what Jesus suffered for us.

Directed by the Holy Spirit

Series: Acts - Devoted to God, Each other, mission.

Preacher: Sean Jenkin

Sunday Morning

Date: 16th November 2025

Passages:

-------------------

These chapters follow Paul as he travels toward Jerusalem, fully aware that hardship lies ahead. Along the way believers repeatedly warn him through the Spirit about the suffering he will face, yet Paul continues because he believes obedience matters more than personal comfort. The passage shows how listening for the Spirit’s leading is essential, but it also highlights the need to interpret prophetic words correctly. Prophecies given to Paul and to the churches along the route are consistent with earlier warnings, showing how the Holy Spirit often builds on what He has already said. Paul demonstrates what it means to go forward in faith without knowing every detail, trusting that God’s will is good even when it is costly.

When Paul arrives in Jerusalem, tensions rise quickly. He is misunderstood, falsely accused, and eventually arrested, yet even in suffering he uses every opportunity to share the gospel. His willingness to endure hardship for the sake of Christ contrasts with the actions of the crowd who resist the idea that God’s salvation includes those they would rather avoid. At the same time, the narrative reminds readers that there is no virtue in needless suffering. Paul wisely uses the rights available to him, including his Roman citizenship, showing that Spirit-led obedience does not mean inviting unnecessary pain. Instead the passage encourages believers to follow the Spirit with humility and courage, trusting God’s leading even when the path is difficult.

He focuses on 'the whole counsel of God' or God's plan in the world, which is key for understanding our own place in the cosmos.

Beyond the spectacular, Pentecost gifted the early believers with powerful tools for devotion and mission.

Preacher: Tim Suffield

Sunday Morning

Date: 19th January 2025

Passages:

-------------------

Explores the time between Jesus’ ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The disciples return to the upper room to wait and pray, demonstrating faith and unity as they prepare for what God will do next. In this waiting period, they also act in obedience by replacing Judas, selecting Matthias through prayer and the casting of lots. Reflecting on how God works through waiting, disappointment, and apparent failure, reminding listeners that God’s sovereignty and goodness remain even when life feels confusing or painful. “What do you do when it looks like God got it wrong?” God never makes mistakes. He redeems even tragedy for His purposes, as shown supremely in Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Preacher: Andrew Lawrence

Sunday Morning

Date: 12th January 2025

Passages:

-------------------

Exploring Jesus’ final instructions before His ascension and the call to wait for the Holy Spirit. Highlighting that Acts tells the story of ordinary people saved by Jesus and empowered by the Spirit to live lives devoted to God, one another, and mission. Emphasising two key phrases from Jesus: “Wait for the gift my Father promised” and “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” It calls believers to pause, trust, and seek the presence of God intentionally rather than rushing ahead in self-reliance. Waiting on God renews strength, bringing intimacy with Him, and equiping His people to be witnesses locally and globally.
